During 2017, severe weather events caused extensive damage in many parts of our state, resulting in three Presidential disaster declarations -- two due to Southwest Georgia tornadoes and one in the wake of Hurricane Irma. In February 2018, the federal government awarded Georgia $64,904,000 in disaster recovery assistance to address unmet needs (UMN) and mitigate against future disasters in the areas affected by these disasters. Additionally, in January 2020, HUD allocated an additional $13,015,596 to repair infrastructure damaged by these disasters.
Funds will be prioritized for use in the Most Impacted and Distressed (MID) areas, to facilitate long-term recovery through the restoration of infrastructure and housing, and for mitigation activities to protect from predictable future damage.
Eligible counties: Berrien, Camden, Charlton, Chatham, Coffee, Cook, Crisp, Dougherty, Glynn, Liberty, McIntosh, Thomas, Turner, Wilcox, Worth
